All year we've been working on a World Geography unit! We have learned about our country and 50 states as well as many countries throughout the world. We started the year with our 50 State Postcard Project. We asked family and friends to mail a postcard from each of the 50 states to us. As they arrived, we mapped them and discussed the state. Soon we started receiving postcards from other countries. As they arrived, we found the country on our globe and discussed the country. During December, we traveled around the world to see how Christmas was celebrated in 10 other countries.
Fortunately, Arianna's Uncle Alex came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. He lives an exciting life of travel. Alex has worked in several countries and came to our room to share his knowledge. We were able to learn about his most recent trips, saw money from a variety of other countries, pictures and postcards. He was kind enough to entertain our variety of questions as well! The kids loved the surprise guest and Arianna was so proud to be able to introduce and share her Uncle Alex with us.
